The H P Lovecraft Chronicles

Presented by Michael Sabbaton

Two classic horrors based on the weird tales of H.P. Lovecraft.

THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT

 
The Temple
It is 1917. When a strange ivory, carved head comes into the possession of the commander of the U-29, the boat becomes cursed as it is drawn into a spiralling descent of dissention and madness. Nightmares, weird feelings and visions of dead sailors begin to haunt the crew. An explosion permanently disables the U-boat’s ability to surface and as it is pulled to the depths by an uncharted, underwater current a demonic, siren song begins to drive the crew towards insanity and death.


 
The Call of Cthulhu
Based on the original story from 1926, The Call of Cthulhu creates the seminal horror world of science fiction terror.  The story revolves around three related tales concerning the strange influences of an ancient, malevolent ‘god’ residing in the depths of the ocean and in the slumbering minds of men, waiting to rise again to ultimate dominion.
 
Appealing to a cult audience across an expansive popular culture, both The Temple and Cthulhu stand as epic influences on the horror/sci-fi genre. Full of subtle terror, Michael Sabbaton weaves these character driven tales into one man tapestries of atmospheric, intimate theatre.

Please note: contains some strong language and content

‘In portraying five very different men each driven mad by forbidden knowledge, Michael Sabbaton cycles from commanding through unsettling all the way to full-on disturbing, but is never short of captivating…The Call of Cthulhu is potent indeed’ The British Theatre Guide on The Call of Cthulhu
 
‘(Sabbaton is a) formidable actor (who) take(s) on the different persona and create(s) such a claustrophobic and horror laden atmosphere. His characterisations and capture of a moment were wonderful. This show is an amazing attempt to bring the dreadful awe of the Cthulhu mythos onto the stage. Michael Sabbaton has done a remarkable job’ The Edinburgh Guide on The Call of Cthulhu
